About My Project: Students in the Robotics and Digital Electronics classes in the Technology and Engineering Department at Logan High School are in need of a new oscilloscope.
An oscilloscope is used to diagnose and troubleshoot problems that come up in electronics projects. It displays electrical current or voltage on a screen so students can visualize the wave form and then make needed adjustments to the voltage or current levels of the circuit.
For example, our students have used an oscilloscope in the past to look at the PWM (pulse width modulation) signal from a microcontroller to determine if it was the type of signal needed to drive a motor. Without the use of this tool, it would be difficult to complete advanced projects that challenge students to higher levels.
